hi, I am a grandchild of the late Lucy hishon, I am looking for more information on her husbands family William hishon and information would be greatly appreciated as Im trying to find out more dig deeper into history to make a family tree
yours truly Edmond nolan
Hi Edmond,
There are 7 William Hisson Limerick baptism records on www.rootsireland.ie/ 1818 to 1880; 5 of these are from Shanagolden R C parish - 1838, 42, 73, 78 & 80
Do you have an approximate year of birth for him?
I couldn't find a marriage record of William to Lucy; the only Shanagolden R C marriage record for William Hisson is 1830 wife Francis Langford
I couldn't find them in the Irish Censuses, Tithe Applotments or Griffiths Valuation I'm afraid
Col
You typed the name hisson in your message the name is hishon, his wife’s name would of been Lucy McHugh, William would of came from cragard in shanagolden
His year of death was 1989
And his year of birth was 1925
I searched rootsireland.ie/ using the surname variant option in the previous message so it would have checked for Hishon too. Hiwever, I checked again with the correct spelling and got the same result I'm afraid.
I'm getting old & silly!
I tried Hishon and got a few results:
The 1911 Census (free online at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie) has this family in Craggard (William would have been born 1843)
Residents of a house 7 in Craggard (Lismakeery, Limerick)
Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion
Hishon William 68 Male Head of Family R Catholic
Hishon Ann 25 Female Daughter R Catholic
Hishon Daniel 21 Male Son R Catholic
Hishon Frances 20 Female Daughter R Catholic
There is also this one from the 1901 Census with 2 Williams - the same one plus another born 1891:
Residents of a house 1 in Craggard (Lismakeery, Limerick)
Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion
Hishon William 58 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic
Hishon Ann 55 Female Wife Roman Catholic
Hishon William 10 Male Son Roman Catholic
Hishon Ann 15 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
No Hishons in any of the other censuses
Hishon Mary13 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
Hishon Frances 8 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
Naughton John 23 Male Servant Roman Catholic
Naughton Tom 21 Male Servant Roman Catholic
Naughton Hanna18 Female Servant Roman Catholic
The Tithe Applotments have a William Hishon in Ballycormack, Shanagolden 1830. Only the address, landlord and amount paid are given - no family details http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/
Griffiths Valuation (http://www.askaboutireland.ie) also has one:

Publication DetailsPosition on Page35Printing Date1852Act9&10Sheet Number9,10,18Map Reference9
If they were R C the Shanagolden R C parish baptism records only go to 1877; the Government Records Office birth records stop at 1921- just too early for 1925 (I assume you didn't mean 1825?)
Tried Lucy McHugh 1920 + - 10 years in all counties but no luck there either
Col
Well the family of William hishon I’m looking for is
Birth year -1925 death year 1989
Address would craggard house shaagolden
O K Edmond then I suggest you contact (write to or phone) the one Hishon in Shanagolden Irish phone book as she may know the family (Her address is Cregard)
I am not permitted to post people's personal details on this site so you can get her details yourself in the Irish phone book
google 118.ie/ select people search, type in Hishon location Shanagolden and her details will come up
If you have problems, give your email address and I can send her details to that
Col
Well Col,
I have nil to do with Hisson / Hishon but want to publicly applaud the excellent service you provided in this Shsss! case.
A top job - better than Sherlock hissh-self!
Yours impressed,

Hi,
I am looking for a shanahan family who lived in shanakeale I think it is splelt.
Julie or julia shanahan born 1928 died around 2000 maybe in Belfast.
Her mother was Margaret crean.
Your jelp tracking any of my ancestors down would be great.
Hi Shana,
Shanakeale is in Kerry which has very few birth/marriage /death records
Also, you are looking for people who were born and died recently and the records aren't yet available for those years
I checked www.rootsireland.ie/ (no Kerry records) for Shanahan - Crean marriages & Julie/a's baptism with no success; I also tried irishgenealogy.ie/ which has Kerry records
If Julie was born 1928 her mother Margaret would have been born around 1900; the 1911 Irish Census has this:
Residents of a house 3 in Gortacurraun (Ballynacourty, Kerry)
SurnameForenameAgeSexRelation to headReligion
CreanJohanna38FemaleHead of FamilyRoman Catholic

CreanMary13FemaleDaughterRoman Catholic
CreanHannah11FemaleDaughterRoman Catholic
CreanBridget9FemaleDaughterRoman Catholic

Please stop commenting on my post as I’m getting confused with information of my family so pls stop
Hi Col and Shana. I am the IRO Liaison for Shanagolden and Kilcolman Parishes. I have to ask you two if you'd contact each other through email. This is not a forum and you've hijacked Edmund Nolan's post!
If you'd like to post a query, Shana, please go to the parish board that your family came from. This board is for Shanagolden, Co Limerick only.
I apologize to Edmund. I should have stepped in sooner.
Thank you,
Patti Hacht
